If you break down the word aerobic: aero- "air" + bios "life". So aerobic organisms live on the presence of air, specifically oxygen. The prefix ana- is a negation, so anaerobic organisms do not require oxygen for respiration. Some organisms (called facultative anaerobes) are able to switch from aerobic to anaerobic respiration. The determining factor in the switch from aerobic to anaerobic would be the presence of oxygen. If there is no oxygen, then facultative anaerobes will respire anaerobically.
What else can I help you with?
What organelles break down substances to produce energy for the cell?
Mitochondria break down the remnants of glucose to produce energy (ATP) for the cell.
What substance does glycolysis break down?
Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.
Where is glucose converted into pyruvate in the cell?
The cytoplasm
What enzymes break down glucose?
glucase
The function of beta galactosidase is to?
break down the Glucose
What cell does glucose partly break down in?
The Mitochondria in a cell breaks down the Glucose
What organelle is needed to break down the glucose in cell respiration?
photosynthesis
What organelles break down substances to produce energy for the cell?
Mitochondria break down the remnants of glucose to produce energy (ATP) for the cell.
What do mitochondria do with the glucose they absorb?
they break down the carbon and oxygen to used in respiration of the cell
What cell part helps plant and animal cells break down glucose?
cytology
What does the mitochondria do in a fat cell?
The same as any other cell. They break down glucose and form molecules of ATP which the cell can use for energy.
What is the chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar?
hi! the chemical reaction that happens in every cell is called glucose
During digestion what molecule enters the cell?
The goal of digestion is to break down food to the glucose level. Only then will it be absorbed into the cell and be used in respiration.
What process do living organisms break down glucose?
Living organisms break down glucose through a process called cellular respiration. This process involves a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of the cell to produce ATP, the cell's primary source of energy. The three main stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
What major fuel is used in cell activities?
Glucose is the major fuel used in cell activities. Cells break down glucose through a process called cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP.
What is the purpose of the breakdown of glucose in a cell?
For energy, they need energy to keep the organism they're part of going. Cells use oxygen (if possible) to break down the glucose into carbon dioxide and water. This is called aerobic respiration. If not oxygen is available (if your using a lot like during exercise) then the cells will break down the glucose anaerobically to make lactic acid which can hard your cells. This all happens in the mitochondria of your cells.
Which organelle in a cell uses oxygen when breaking down glucose?
Mitochondria in the cell use oxygen when breaking down glucose.
